Modal Presentations from October 14-15 meetings.
Individual summaries of all eight local consultation meetings, including reactions heard at the meetings and opportunities to leave feedback, are available by opening the calendar and date of each session.
T-LINK is relying on this grassroots approach to gathering information about local transportation needs and priorities. The process has been designed to reflect our commitment to using collaborative decision-making processes and to sparking regional discussion around highway and other modal needs.

T-LINK CALCULATOR IS NOW ONLINE
The T-LINK Calculator is an interactive tool that allows users to create their own theoretical Kansas transportation program and submit it to the Task Force. Participants develop a program by making assumptions about current and some new funding sources, and then allocating their revenues among several modes of transportation. Users than allocate funding on a variety of transportation modes.
After completing their program, an option to “Submit your program” is available. KDOT will develop statewide and regional averages based on the submittals. These “average theoretical programs” will eventually be made available on the website and presented to the T-LINK Task force for consideration.
1st T-LINK TASK FORCE MEETING
About 75 persons attended T-LINK’s inaugural meeting in Topeka. The task force will develop a set of recommendations for a new strategic transportation approach as the state’s 10-year transportation program comes to an end.
"I am an absolute believer that processes only get better when you bring people into them,” said Secretary of Transportation Deb Miller.
A summary of the meeting and quotes from task force members is available at the T-LINK Kickoff Meeting page.
